Man'yōgana
is an ancient writing system that employs Chinese characters to represent the Japanese language. The date of the earliest usage of this type of kana is not clear, but it was in use since at least the mid seventh century. The name "man'yōgana" is from the ''Man'yōshū'', a Japanese poetry anthology from the Nara period written in ''man'yōgana.''
==Origin==
A possible oldest example of Man'yōgana is the iron Inariyama Sword that was excavated at the Inariyama Kofun in 1968. In 1978, X-ray analysis revealed a gold-inlaid inscription consisting of more than 115 Chinese characters and this text, written in Chinese, included Japanese personal names which were supposedly phonetically written. This sword is thought to have been made in the year 辛亥年 (471 A.D. in commonly accepted theory),〔Seeley, Christopher. ''A History of Writing in Japan''. University of Hawaii: 2000. 19-23.〕 and analysis of the rust on the sword implies that the metal used may have been refined from magnetite found in the eastern region of China, imported into Japan, and used to forge the sword there.〔(X線がいざなう古代の世界 －埼玉県・熊本県出土金銀象嵌銘刀剣が伝えた時代－ )〕 There is a possibility that the inscription of Inariyama sword may be written in a version of the Chinese language used in the Korean-peninsula kingdom of Baekje.〔Sacred texts and buried treasures: issues in the historical archaeology of ancient Japan by William Wayne Farris P102 () "The writing style of several other inscriptions also betrays Korean influence... Researchers discovered the longest inscription to date, the 115-character engraving on the Inariyama sword, in Saitama in the Kanto, seemingly far away from any Korean emigrés. The style that the author chose for the inscription, however, was highly popular in Paekche."〕
